My favorite Christmas decoration as a child was my Mom’s bubble tree that was given to her by her mother. When it was plugged in, us kids would all sit around and wait for each one to start bubbling..
My favorite Christmas decorations are the ones that my daughter now claims and has taken them to her own home to use for Christmas!! She helped me sort through all my boxes of decorations and I was able to pass a lot on to thrift store because I wasn’t trying to “save” all of them for her.
My favorite ornament is the angel we put on top of the tree. It’s a little to small for the tree but gets put on each year. It was a kit with embroidery and beads. It’s probably about 30 years old at this time.
My favorite Christmas event is Christmas morning worship that I play organ for. My favorite decoration is my Christmas tree.
I look forward to eggnog, family get togethers, friends and small Christmas parties. I like making little gifts for my quilt friends and my book group.
Some of my favorite Christmas decorations are Hallmark ornaments especially the Nostalgic Houses and Shops. My neighbor started me collecting them several years ago when she gave me some as a gift. Then I found out that you could buy them after Christmas on sale. But probably the most special decorations of all are the ones that my children bought me over the years. So much thought and sacrifices went into those gifts. Merry Christmas, Pat, to you and your family! And thanks for all that you share with us during the year to help us with our sewing projects!
My favorite holiday decorations are putting out my Christmas quilts!! It’s so nice to ‘visit’ with them🥰🤗
My daughters and I have always had a cookie baking day and I look forward to that every year.
My favorite Christmas decoration is my Santa collection. They are all shapes and sizes. They are made of an assortment of materials; wood, resin, glass, porcelain and of course the best, fabric! One of them went missing for several years and finally came home in 2020! Naughty Santa!
My favorite Christmas decorations are snowmen. I have many. I leave them up until March.
My favorite event is Christmas morning wheen everyone sees what is in the stockings!
I love the holidays, time to spend with loved ones. My favorite tradition is making from scratch lasagna and sugar cookies on Christmas Eve and followed by making sweet bread dough to be fried on Christmas morning! Wonderful aroma and memories! 🎄🎅🏼🤶🏼🎄
I love working with you on your blocks
I learn so much. I new ( I’ve been watching you
now for two years snd doing your monthly blocks)

I’m retired. Never sewed and needed a hobby
Wasn’t sure what to do have been trying many different
Things. Finally this I choose setting up my sewing room and buying
Supplies and such
My Favourite christmas decorations are some machine embroideries Ive made. Gnomes and a nutcracker. I also won champion sash from my local show for a reverse applique wallhanging I did. I hang it with pride each year.
My favorite Christmas event is the community sing-a-long at an old stone church in our town of about 6,000 people. Of course, cookies afterward are always a plus! 🙂
My favorite Christmas decoration is one from my childhood. It was a bird that clipped onto the tree. It was my moms so I cherish it
My favourite Christmas event growing up was visiting my cousins on Christmas day. We only saw them twice a year so always looked forward to it. Now grown with my own kids, gathering with their cousins is what I look forward to.
My favorite Christmas activity is going to see Christmas lights.
There is also a night parade in our town.
My favorite decoration is my moms ceramic Christmas tree. She passed away a few years ago.
My favorite Christmas decorations are those my children made for our tree. Many have pictures of different ages or hand prints. Now I get grandson ornaments. These little pieces of life bring forth many wonderful memories. I have so many blessings in my life!
My favorite Christmas decoration is my nativity set that I bought years ago from Home interior. A kind man made a crèche for it and I have it out every year. My favorite holiday event is spending time with the children and Grandchildren. Family means so much.
My favourite holiday decorations are the lights on the house. Lighted snowflakes on the porch. Lighted presents by the door. Coloured lights around all the windows and eaves. It makes the house look magical.
My favorite Christmas decorations are the Christmas trees. We had one decorated in white twinkleblights, crystal ornaments, and yards and yards of pink tulle and another tree decorated with animal ornaments topped with a doggie angel.
My favorite holiday event is going to the ballet to see The Nut Cracker. I hope you continue to heal and have a very merry Christmas. Thanks for sharing all you do with us.
My favorite Christmas decoration is my mini tree that hold all of my pink ornaments. It has little pearls and shiny, glittery garlands. Pink piggies and teddy bears. White lights and a pretty flannel tree skirt. I just love it!
my favorite Christmas decorations are some hand painted x-mas bulbs a friend painted them around 10 years ago and I treasure them.
Love all the wonderful Christmas patterns; decorations & listening to the carols. Make ornaments ever year for all family members love watching them come to life as I stitch them out.
I love to go to church on Christmas Eve. Everyone lights a candle & we sing. It’s so beautiful ❤️
My favorite event is taking the Grandkids out too see Christmas Lights Christmas Eve bring along hot chocolate Christmas Cookies We decorated a tomato cage for our tree this year think this might be my new favorite decoration
Christmas day hike is my favorite activity
My favorite Christmas is when our daughter and granddaughter comes over Xmas eve during the early afternoon and helps getting food prepared for the evening festivities.
My Favorite Christmas Event is a Nativity Display. I also love going out to see the Lights on homes in Town. I love my own Nativities that I can display in my home.
My favorite thing is having my sons and grandson to my house for food and being together.
My favorite Christmas event is opening gifts on Christmas Eve with family. The weeks preceding Christmas can be so hectic and stressful, so it an absolute joy to put on Christmas music, watch the children open their gifts and enjoy being in the presence of family on Christmas Eve. Everyone seems more relaxed and happy at this time.
My favorite Christmas decoration is a “Seasons Greetings” wall hanging that I made in the late 70’s using wool yarn to do the crewel stitching. It reminds me of when my children were very young, of patience, and the wonder and joy of Christmas.
My favorite Christmas event is the Live Nativity set at our local church in Melbourne FL!! All the participants are youth groups within the church! They even have Real animals around the Manger too!!
My favorite holiday decoration is my machine embroidered and quilted wall hanging. It hangs over my fireplace. The embroidered blocks are the reindeer and Santa. and the red and green squares that offset the embroidered blocks are a tone on tone print that have been machine embroidered with quilting motifs. It’s super cute and a family favorite every year!
My favorite Christmas event is putting up the tree. The excitement in my granddaughter’s eyes warm my heart.
My favorite Christmas ornament is Santa kneeling over Baby Jesus in the manger. I love the ornament on our tree and I also have it as a figurine in my Collection cabinet. Merry Christmas 🎄
It isn’t Christmas until my Santa & Sleigh being pulled by FLAMINGOS goes up in the yard! My son and his wife gave me this decoration over a dozen years ago. By far my favorite!
My favorite decoration is a very old angel that my Sunday School teacher gave to me when I was 4 or 5. I am 63 now! She is tattered and worn, but full of memories.
My favorite Christmas event is going to Christmas Eve Candlelight Service and coming home to have hot chocolate and watch “White Christmas”
My favorite holiday decoration is a glass hummingbird ornament I found in my grandmothers hope chest after she passed. I have never seen it on her tree or ever heard her mention it. I found it wrapped up in tissue paper I thought was just trash. Luckily for me I opened it out of curiosity. I make sure it is the first ornament up and last down every year and is at the top of the tree.
My favorite Christmas decoration is the grapevine deer head I purchased at a garden center several years ago. It has pinecones and other natural elements woven into it as well. I strung small battery operated fairy lights through it and up the antlers. It’s so pretty hanging above my stone fireplace.
My very favorite Christmas event every year is the Christmas parade and hearing the marching band.
Hi Pat! So glad you’re recovery quickly! My favorite Christmas decorations are my Christmas village sets… well it’s a Harry Potter village =) but it’s so cute at night with lights and snow! Love all your Christmas quilts!
My favorite Holiday Event is Christmas Eve Dinner with all my cousins at my grandparents house each year. It was so fun in their little 2 bedroom house in the country. We ate traditional turkey, but also Norwegian lutafisk (fish) and lefsa were served. All the way home from grandma and grandpa’s house, us kids would press our faces to the windows to see if we could see Santa and Rudolf flying through the sky.
My favorite decorations are the Campbell ornaments I have collected through the
the years and also all the homemade ones.
My favorite Christmas decorations are the moveable ornaments that are “plugged” into the little light sockets. I love how they make the tree “come alive”. My favorite one is of Snoopy and Woodstock
My favorite decorations are ones that are from my parents and grandparents. Of those the one I like the best is the nativity merry go round from Germany. Also spending the holidays with family. Thank you for all of the things you share. Glad you are feeling better.
